Listener Opinions

" This book had so much potential! I mean kidnapping a goat! With an ex jockey/accountant! But this book read like a romance novel. A crime novel is not supposed to read like a crime novel. That's rule number one. The book was really strange in a boring sort of way. And it just wouldn't end!! "

" Liked the psychology, liked our protagonist and her crotchety mother. Liked that we didn't meet the goat for a while. "

" It was a fun read. Nothing ultra spectacular, but I like stories and it was entertaining enough :) "

" Pace not always even, but character is irresistible and overall plot keeps you going. Definitely going to move on to Brod's next "Getting" book. "

" Loved it. Especially the relationship between mom and daughter. Easy, fast moving enjoyable. Lots of cleverness in the writing, not just plot. "

" Fun, quirky book. Brody's heroine has a problem that will unfortunately become common as the Boomers age--having your retired parent outlive his or her retirement funds. However, Brod exploits this situation, making it humorous instead of tragic. Recommended. "

" Did you ever wonder what you would do if you really, really needed some money for someone you loved? How far would you go? This is a cute read, well written, light mystery with some good laughs. "
